function GraphicExtension(

  GraphicClass: TGraphicClass

):string;

Arguments

GraphicClass

  

Graphic class used to determine the file extension.

Function result

File extension for the image type.

Description

Calls GetPicFileFormats to get the list which maps TGraphicClass (or descendent) references to a file extension.

GraphicExtension iterates over the values in the mapping list in reverse order, and compares the class name for the list item to the class name in GraphicClass. When a match is found, the GetFormatExt method for the item is called to get the return value for the function.

The return value is an empty string ('') when a mapping for GraphicClass is not found in the list.
